© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
I wrote about Jim Wallace and the organization SPELL in July of 2009 in a column that highlighted the Society for the Preservation of English Language and Literature and its role in promoting proper grammar.After meeting Wallace, a Hoschton resident and former newspaper reporter and writing instructor, I became an honorary member of SPELL. It included a subscription to the group's newsletter, which until this year was mailed out on a bi-monthly basis. But the edition that arrived just before Christmas contained a note saying that might change. Starting this year, Wallace said, the publication will be sent out quarterly with a very real possibility of becoming an Internet-only newsletter come 2012. Wallace said that unlike the newspaper business, the economy isn't really to blame. But age might be. "People interested in English grammar are old-timers," SPELL's president said with a laugh. "These days we have teachers who don't know a preposition from a participle, and they teach English. "Interest in correct grammar is becoming old-fashioned." Wallace said his interest hasn't waned, but the retiree admits he's no whippersnapper. "I'm getting old, too," he said. "It's getting to be a hassle for an old guy like me (to produce the newsletter). "It was (sent out) every two months, but I think we'll do it quarterly this year. I think the writing is on the wall that after this year we may have to do an online version. If it does, it does. I'm not going to commit suicide if it doesn't (get mailed) out. It's fun, but it's a hassle." It's a hassle Wallace enjoys. But he knows the love of language is a fading pastime. He said in the organization's "glory days" there were close to 1,600 paying members spread out across the country. That paid membership has dropped to 800. It's a small but dedicated group that still enjoys proper grammar in the Twitter age. "We still have a real loyal core of grammar nuts," Wallace said. "They're just people who are in love with the language and hate to see it when sports announcers and news announcers mangle it. "The overall picture is there's just a decline in standards for punctuation and grammar. People don't care about grammar as long as it conveys meaning." But as long as the members of SPELL care, Wallace will continue to publish the newsletter in some form. If you share that love of language, or just consider yourself old-fashioned, you can join or learn more about the group by e-mailing Wallace at firstname.lastname@example.com. Just remember to use your best grammar. E-mail Todd Cline at email@example.com. His column appears on Wednesdays. For archived columns, go to www.gwinnettdailypost.com/toddcline.

No, GRTS is multidenominational. We affirm an evangelical biblical worldview as expressed in the Cornerstone Confession. What sets GRTS apart from other seminaries? Each seminary will have particular strengths. The primary mission of GRTS is to educate students who are gifted for ministry for service in the church and other ministry settings. As a multidenominational school GRTS trains students from many different backgrounds and this is reflected in the curriculum and classroom discussion. GRTS is also committed to engaging education from a high view of Scripture and to exegeting the Bible in its original languages. The Ministry Residency program at GRTS provides an in-depth ministry training experience for ministry students. M.A. Counseling students complete Practicum and Internships as part of their practical training prior to graduation. GRTS also integrates academic learning and classroom discussion with practical hands-on training. I have a diverse denominational background. Will I fit in? Yes, students at GRTS come from many different church backgrounds and denominations. GRTS values learning together in community and students find that they have others who can identify with them and encourage them during their time at seminary. Faculty How many faculty members do you have? We currently have 32 faculty members, including nine full-time, two part-time and 21 adjunct faculty. What educational background do your professors have? GRTS professors are experts in their chosen field of study having spent many years studying and researching. The vast majority of GRTS faculty have earned doctorates from north American and UK universities. Four of the full-time faculty have masters degrees from GRTS. For more detailed information on each faculty member please see our faculty page or the GRTS academic catalog. Size How large is your student body? We are a mid-sized seminary with more than 300 students (both full- and part-time) enrolled for any given semester. We offer small class sizes (typically 15 students or less) and scholarly professors who view themselves as co-learners and foster an atmosphere of community learning. What is the campus like? We are a part of Cornerstone University, and all seminary classes and offices are located in the Wood Seminary building just off Leonard St. We have six main classrooms located in our main hallway, as well as a multipurpose chapel. The second floor of our building houses the Hoch Bookroom, where you can purchase all your required textbooks, and the Dobson Study Center, which is open all week as a quiet place to study. We have Wednesday morning chapels to build community among our students. There is a time of fellowship (and Panera bagels), then a program that varies week to week, such as special guest speakers, round-table discussions, prayer/worship time, etc. Accreditation Is GRTS accredited? Yes, GRTS is fully accredited by both the Association of Theological Schools and the Higher Learning Commission. Will my denomination accept my degree from GRTS? Most denominations will accept a degree from GRTS as part of the requirements for ordination. However, it is important to verify with the denomination (or church association) in which you plan to serve to confirm that they do recognize GRTS degrees. Each denomination establishes their own ordination process and standards so it is advisable to be in contact with your church to confirm their requirements. Does the MA Counseling program prepare me for state licensure? Yes, the MA Counseling degree at GRTS is approved by the State of Michigan to provide training towards LPC status. For more details see the MA Counseling FAQ page. Degrees What degrees does GRTS offer? We offer a Master of Divinity (94 credits), M.A. in Counseling (72 credits), M.A. Intercultural Ministries, M.A. Educational Ministries, M.A. Old Testament, M.A. New Testament, M.A. Systematic Theology, M.A. Historical Theology, M.A. Interdisciplinary Studies, and a Master of Theology (Th.M.) degree. Learn more about our full degree programs here. Can I specialize my degree to my area of interest? Yes! All of our programs have elective space that allow you to tailor your degree. Several of our programs include cognates, or specializations, that allow you to graduate with an area of emphasis on your degree. For example, Master of Divinity students can specialize in Adult Ministries, Pastoral Ministries, Women's Studies, Intercultural Ministries, Counseling and Chaplaincy. We also offer specializations within the M.A. Counseling and M.A. Christian Formation degrees. Please see the individual degree pages to learn more. Getting Started Do I need to have a Bible or theology degree to attend seminary? No, you can apply to GRTS as long as you have a bachelor's degree from an accredited school. Our degree programs serve both those who will be taking their first formal theological classes as well as those who have completed a theological degree. Do you require the GRE or other entrance exams? The GRE is not normally required for the Master of Divinity or Master of Arts degrees , but some applicants to the Master of Theology (Th.M.) program may be required to take the GRE. Do I have to request college transcripts? Yes, we need transcripts from any higher learning institutions you have attended. Please have final, official transcripts sent to: Seminary AdmissionsCornerstone University1001 E. Beltline Ave NEGrand Rapids, MI 49525 What is the application due date? We operate on a rolling admissions basis, so you can submit your application at any point throughout the year. However, there is a preferred due date for each semester which is usually about 7-10 days before the semester begins. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible for application processing, course availability and financial aid opportunities. I've already taken Bible and theology classes. Do you offer Advanced Standing? Yes, we offer advanced standing exams at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters by appointment. You may take exams for preapproved 300-level (or higher) undergraduate courses if you earned a B (3.0 GPA) or better in the class at an accredited institution. You may only fulfill one-fourth of your total program credit requirements with advanced standing credit. Contact the Admissions Office for a complete list of classes that offer examinations. Can I be considered for admission if I did not complete a bachelor's degree? What if my school was not accredited? We consider applicants who have not completed a bachelor's degree on a very limited basis. We would likely require you to complete the GRE successfully. Also, please contact us if you received your bachelor's degree at a non-accredited institution. We maintain a list of non-accredited institutions from which we accept degrees. Is health insurance available to GRTS students? Cornerstone University offers a premium-based injury and sickness insurance plan to all students of Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. Interested students can obtain an insurance brochure from Cornerstone University Health Services or from the GRTS Admissions office. Program Flexibility Do you offer evening classes? We offer a variety of course offerings in both the morning, afternoon and evening. Our classes start as early at 8:30 a.m. and as late as 6:20 p.m. We have block scheduling, which means that your class is only one day a week, making it easier for you to balance a work schedule. (The only exceptions are our Tuesday/Thursday Greek and Hebrew classes.) We do not currently offer any weekend classes but we do have two-week intensive courses in early January and during the summer months. How long will it take me to complete my degree? If you enroll on a full-time basis (11 credits or more per semester), you will take two to three years to complete your degree, depending on which degree you are pursuing. If you enroll part time, you will have up to five years to complete your degree. You will need to make an appeal to the academic dean if you do not plan to complete your degree within five years, but it is possible if you demonstrate that you are actively and consistently moving forward in the program. Do you have online and distance courses? Yes! A growing number of our courses are available online. You can take up to 8 online courses during your program here. There is also the option to consider the two fully online degrees offered through Cornerstone University in Ministry Leadership and Biblical Studies, which are Higher Learning Commission accredited. Are there ministry opportunities available as a part of the degree curriculum? Yes. GRTS partners with over 70 local and regional churches and ministries to provide students with a ministry residency. The ministry residency is for students in the Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Christian Formation and Master of Arts in Intercultural Ministries programs. Hundreds of other churches are available for spiritual formation and ministry service. There are also many local sites where Master of Arts in Counseling students can fulfill their practicum and internship for professional licensure. How does your Master of Arts in Counseling degree differ from counseling degrees offered at other institutions? Upon successful completion of our degree, you will be eligible for your Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) in Michigan and most other states. Our curriculum includes a 39-credit counseling concentration as mandated by the State of Michigan, with an additional 24 credits in Bible and theology and 9 credits in a cognate of your choice. This integrated approach provides you with excellent counseling skills, biblical interpretation skills, theological and ministry exploration, and the foundation for state licensure. Many other schools offer "Christian" counseling programs, but you will find a significant difference in the amount of Bible and theology you complete at GRTS. We want you to be the most well equipped to help hurting people find hope in a broken world.

Warrior Class Hits Its Talking Points
Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Gore Vidal's 1960 play The Best Man is enjoying a successful revival on Broadway. It opened in April, received a couple of Tony Award nominations and attracted a starry cast including James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury and John Laroquette. But it's not the only political play currently on the boards in New York.
The Second Stage Theater has mounted Kenneth Lin's Warrior Class as part of its summer series devoted to new works. Vidal's The Best Man concerns two men vying for their party's nomination in a Presidential election and involves a sizable ensemble; Warrior Class observes a moment in the career of a young, rising politician and puts just three-characters onstage.
But New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood finds some real substance in the new, small-scale work, and also considers why there isn't more theater about politics, especially in an election year.

It's fall, a good time for countdowns.
•Countdown: 53 days till Christmas.
•Countdown: 20 days till Thanksgiving.
•Countdown: 14 days until I put up Christmas decorations.
•Countdown: Seven columns to go.
•Backward countdown: The 90th birthday of my dear friend Terry Lamond was six days ago. But there will be a big hoopla for her Sunday, two days from now, and I'll be there. Terry, the first and best Red Hot Mama at Rosie O'Grady's, is still a force of nature, full of opinions and blessed with smarts and a sense of humor. She is, in short, a doodle, and I'm glad she was born.
Navel grazing
•On the TV: Of the season's new shows, I rather like "Revolution," yet another anti-hero series, this one set during a time when all the electricity has switched off (it has some silly plot devices, some of the characters wear those ridiculous long coats, and Giancarlo Esposito is back with the same dead eyes he had on "Breaking Bad" — this is acting?). Speaking of "Breaking Bad," I'm wondering if Rick (Andrew Lincoln) on "The Walking Dead" is going to become as dark as "BB's" Walter White (Bryan Cranston).
•More new TV shows: I like "Vegas" better than I thought I would, and I like "Nashville" a bit less than I thought I would.
•Old TV shows: I'll be happy to say goodbye to Bangladesh on "The Amazing Race." I like "Parenthood," but almost all of the characters are annoying, especially the one played by Peter Krause (rhymes with yowsah).
•It's time for the annual Big Band Hangar Dance in Volusia County. Faithful correspondent Jack Fortes, 88, says this is the final event he'll work on, but we'll believe it when we see it. It's 7-10:30 p.m. next Friday at the Jet Center Hangar at DeLand Airport.
•My late friend June, a wonderful editor, describing a poor writer to me: "It's just clumps of words, honey."
•CD second looks: "Ricky Skaggs & Friends Sing the Songs of Bill Monroe" (2000) is just as cookin' as I remember it being the first time I heard it. Skaggs and such guests as John Fogerty, Patty Loveless and Steve Wariner make Bill Monroe proud. "The Stephen Sondheim Album" (also 2000) features Central Florida's own Norm Lewis and other Broadway babies (Liz Callaway, Brian D'Arcy James, Ruthie Henshall) doing justice to the Sondheim songbook (well, all except for Dame Edna, who murders "Losing My Mind").
•Obit: rapper-actor Natina Reed, 32. (She was hit by an automobile near Atlanta.)
•Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants on winning the franchise's seventh World Series. The team, formerly of New York, has lost 12 series.
•Oh, good, a musical version of one of my favorite movies and books, Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca." The show, "Rebecca: Das Musical," debuted in 2006 in Austria (in German) and was to come to Broadway this month (in English). To say there have been several obstacles to its American debut is to understate the problems. Pity. I listened to a few of the songs online, and they're good, but I would've never thought of the "Rebecca" story as musical fodder. The songs include "Jenseits der Nacht," "Mrs. de Winter bin ich!" und "I'm an American Woman." All righty then.
•"Rebecca," "Strangers on a Train" and "Shadow of a Doubt" are my favorite Alfred Hitchcocks. "Rebecca" is the only Hitchcock film to win a best-picture Oscar.
•Worst lyric poor Frank Sinatra ever had to sing: "I ate it up and spit it out."
•The 10th annual Okrafest has come and gone at the Lochridge farm in Apopka. Maddie was crowned Okra Queen; there was gumbo and all the fixings; and the music by the Simple Cavemen (Jim Abbott, Ralph Bove, Jeff Miller, Steve Thornton, Jack Heiss) was crackin'. Sitting in with the guys this year were Beth McKee, Juan Perez, Timmy Kelliher and Terri Binion, and you all know how good they are. "The Okra Song" was sung, and adult beverages were consumed.
Roger, Niklas, Jacob, Fillip and Lena, my relatives from Sweden, have been here, and we've been all over Guinea, including Cirque du Soleil (the flying ribbon guy is still my favorite) and the House of Blues gospel brunch (bread pudding was still good, entertainers did a bit too much talking when they could've been doing a bit more singing).
I also had the Swedes over for fika, sort of the Swedish version of an afternoon tea or a coffee break. They said that now I have to come back to Sweden and have real fika.
Trivia question
Since Major League Baseball changed to three divisions in each league in 1994, the East and West divisions have won most of the World Series. How many have Central Division teams won?
Trivia answer
Central Division teams have won just three World Series — Chicago White Sox in 2005 and St. Louis Cardinals in 2006 and 2011.

Roserade is, hands down, one of the best Toxic Spikes users in OU. She can easily dispense Toxic Spikes in the lead position thanks to Sleep Powder, which allows her to neuter opposing leads, and her decent Speed stat. While Roserade is usually seen as a Toxic Spikes user, she can also be employed as an exceptional offensive Pokemon. She has access to two powerful STAB moves in Leaf Storm and Sludge Bomb, and as a result of this, can successfully run both a Life Orb and a Choice Scarf set. On top of this, she is also an excellent Spikes user, and can use a SubSeeding strategy to stall out the opposing team.
However, there exist some downsides to using Roserade. She is very frail on the physical side, so most powerful physical attacks will KO her. Priority moves, such as ExtremeSpeed and Bullet Punch, will often spell doom for Roserade. Additionally, her Grass/Poison STAB combination is resisted by many common Pokemon, such as Heatran, Scizor, and Jirachi, and so she must rely on a Hidden Power type to cover all of these threats. Despite these downsides, however, Roserade is a solid choice on any OU team looking for a versatile entry hazard supporter or special sweeper.
Thanks to her decent Speed and access to Sleep Powder, Roserade serves as an excellent lead with her ability to shut down many common leads and proceed to set up on them. She works best against slow, bulky leads who are unable to defend themselves from Sleep Powder.
As previously mentioned, Sleep Powder is extremely important on Roserade, as it allows her to sleep and set up on common leads, such as Swampert and Metagross. Toxic Spikes is a great support move, and Roserade can set layers up reliably. The third moveslot is for Roserade's STAB move of choice. Leaf Storm is preferred for its sheer power, but Grass Knot can be used instead if the Special Attack drop Leaf Storm causes is unattractive. If the inconsistency of both moves is unappealing to you, then Energy Ball is a fairly decent replacement, albeit much less powerful than Leaf Storm. In the final moveslot, Roserade has her choice of Hidden Power to use. Hidden Power Fire is the primary option as it allows Roserade to hit Skarmory and Forretress leads who will otherwise easily set up on her. Hidden Power Ice is a good option as well for its ability to OHKO Gliscor and Dragonite, who will often switch in on Roserade hoping to set up with Dragon Dance.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
While Roserade is a great Toxic Spikes user, she can also set up Spikes, and thanks to her good base 105 Special Defense and ability to heavily damage many common Rapid Spin users, she is an exceptional and often overlooked user of the move. Her sky-high Special Attack sets her apart from other Spikes users like Skarmory, as does her decent special bulk.
Spikes is a great support move, wearing down opposing teams to the point where teammates can sweep. Grass Knot is the primary choice for Roserade's STAB option, but Energy Ball works just as well if the inconsistency of Grass Knot is unappealing to you. Hidden Power Fire is used in the third slot for hitting Steel-types who will commonly switch in on Roserade, such as Scizor and Skarmory, but Hidden Power Ice is a viable alternative if you wish to be able to hit Dragon-types such as Dragonite, who will otherwise set up on Roserade. It should be noted, however, that if you choose to use Hidden Power Ice you are losing out on the ability to hit Forretress, who will delight in switching in on Roserade, spinning away her Spikes, and then setting up Spikes of his own. In the last moveslot, you have several decent options to choose from. Stun Spore is the primary choice, as it allows Roserade to afflict Pokemon switching into her with crippling paralysis; it also comes with the neat ability to paralyze Ground-types, like Flygon, who are immune to most paralysis-inducing moves. If Stun Spore isn't your cup of tea, Rest can be used instead, as it allows Roserade to fully recover her health, switch out, and come back in later with no status effects thanks to Natural Cure. Leech Seed can also be used if you want Roserade to further stall out opposing Pokemon while setting up Spikes; it also allows Roserade to stall Blissey, who otherwise walls her absolutely.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Thanks to Roserade's amazing Special Attack and decent Speed, she is able to utilize a Choice Scarf set to great effect. The main selling point over other Choice Scarf users is her access to a blazing fast Sleep Powder, allowing her to outpace and cripple any Pokemon in the game (bar other Choice Scarf users).
Leaf Storm is the main option in the first moveslot because of its immense power. Energy Ball is a less powerful, but more reliable, option for the more conservative player. Sludge Bomb is used in the second slot as it gives Roserade an effective means of hitting the Pokemon who take little damage from Leaf Storm, such as Celebi and Dragonite. However, be wary when you're using Sludge Bomb, as it is a risky move on a Choice Pokemon; opposing Steel-types will be able to switch in and set up on Roserade with their immunity to Poison-type attacks. Hidden Power Ice is the primary option in the third moveslot as it allows Roserade to outspeed and OHKO Dragonite and Gliscor; Dragonite in particular is a threat to this set as he can freely come in on Leaf Storm, so it helps to have a means of revenge killing him before a Dragon Dance. Hidden Power Ground is viable solely for hitting Heatran, who will otherwise be able to freely switch in on Roserade throughout the entire match and wreak havoc. Sleep Powder is the best move in the final moveslot as it allows Roserade to outspeed and cripple almost any threat, which helps her team immensely in the long run.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set aims to take advantage of Roserade's high Special Attack and above-average Speed by turning her into a full-blown special sweeper. While this set may appear to be outclassed by Life Orb Sceptile, Roserade has higher Special Attack and the advantage of being able to run a great support move in tandem with her attacking options, whether it be Sleep Powder, Spikes, or Toxic Spikes. Any one of these support moves works excellently on this set, and you can use any option you like depending on your team's needs, making Roserade stand out from other all-out-attacking Life Orb users.
Leaf Storm is the best option in the first moveslot for the immense power that it packs, but Energy Ball can be used instead if you want a more consistent move. Sludge Bomb is used in the second slot as a secondary source of STAB that allows Roserade to severely damage Shaymin and other Roserade. It also allows Roserade to 2HKO offensive Dragonite. The third slot is for Roserade's choice of Hidden Power; Hidden Power Fire is the best option for hitting Steel-types such as Skarmory and Forretress who otherwise completely wall Roserade, while Hidden Power Ground can be used instead as a means of hitting Heatran, who is immune to Sludge Bomb and has a 4x resistance to Leaf Storm. The final moveslot is what sets Roserade apart from other Life Orb attackers: the ability to successfully use a support move. The choice of move depends solely on your team's needs, and as such, there is no "better" option. Sleep Powder is listed as the first option as it allows Roserade to cripple any Pokemon switching into her (bar RestTalkers and status absorbers). However, Spikes or Toxic Spikes can be used if your team can abuse the entry hazard support. Using Spikes and Leaf Storm on the same set is illegal, so keep that in mind when deciding what moves to use.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This is a more stall-oriented Roserade set that combines her ability to successfully use Spikes with her ability to take resisted special attacks like a champ. Roserade's main advantage over other SubSeeders is her access to Spikes, her Poison-type STAB in Sludge Bomb, and her base 105 Special Defense.
Substitute allows Roserade to set up a safety net against critical hits and status. It also makes it much easier to stall out the opponent, as they will have to hit through Roserade's Substitute directly, giving her more time to stall them out. Leech Seed is used to allow Roserade to both stall out her opponent and gain back some of her own HP at the same time. When used in tandem with her Leftovers, Roserade will often have restored all of the health that she used in order to create a Substitute in just two turns. Sludge Bomb is the primary attacking option in the third slot as it allows Roserade to nail Grass-type switch-ins, such as Celebi, for serious damage, who would otherwise absorb Leech Seed without trouble. Energy Ball is a passable option as well, allowing Roserade to hit bulky Water-type Pokemon as well as Pokemon who are resistant to Sludge Bomb. Spikes is used in the final slot as a means of allowing Roserade to support her team while she stalls out the opposition with her SubSeeding combo. With her base 105 Special Defense, Roserade can easily set up Spikes on powerful resisted special attacks, and will often set up one to two layers, making it harder for the opponent to switch.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Roserade boasts great Special Attack and Speed, allowing it to outpace a large portion of Pokemon and use Rain Dance or Sunny Day before taking a hit. Sleep Powder is a big asset to Roserade's movepool, as it effectively gives Roserade a free turn for setting up and also incapacitates an opposing Pokemon for several turns, allowing fellow sweepers to switch in without risk. The second moveslot is for Roserade's STAB move of choice. Leaf Storm is preferred for its sheer power, but Grass Knot is a viable alternative if Leaf Storm's Special Attack drop is unattractive. Weather Ball greatly benefits Roserade in weather, as it is essentially either a boosted Fire- or Water-type move in sun or rain, respectively. Roserade can use either Rain Dance and Damp Rock, or Sunny Day and Heat Rock; the choice between the two depends on the kind of support that your team requires.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Roserade has a few other decent moves that will usually struggle to find a place on her set. Extrasensory can be used in order to hit Fighting-types, but the only Pokemon whom it will hit harder than Roserade's other moves are Machamp, Gengar, and Breloom, usually making it a wasted moveslot. Roserade also makes for a decent weather supporter due to access to both Rain Dance and Sunny Day, as well as Weather Ball, but she is extremely physically frail, and will usually only get a maximum of one opportunity to set up weather. She can also succeed on sandstorm teams, as she resists Water- and Grass-type moves and has access to a powerful Rock-type attack in Weather Ball. GrassWhistle can be used as a sleep-inducing move on sets where Sleep Powder is illegal, but its poor accuracy often makes it an undesirable choice. Roserade makes a decent cleric with Aromatherapy, but traditional clerics like Blissey and Celebi are usually better choices for such a role. Shadow Ball can be used on offensive sets, but it will usually only hit Gengar harder than Roserade's other moves, as Rotom-A is already hit for tremendous damage by Leaf Storm. Growth is an option to boost Roserade's already-high Special Attack, but she is often too slow and physically frail to successfully sweep.
Checks and Counters
While Roserade may be an extremely powerful special attacker, she is easily walled by many common Pokemon. Any Roserade set lacking Hidden Power Fire will be completely shut down by opposing Steel-types, as they aren't heavily damaged by any other move Roserade commonly carries. This means Pokemon like Skarmory and Forretress can easily set up on Roserade, while Pokemon like Scizor can switch in and score serious damage on her. Dragonite will set up on most Roserade sets lacking Hidden Power Ice, but must be wary of Sludge Bomb from the Life Orb set, as it will hurt them significantly. Blissey and Snorlax effortlessly wall most Roserade sets, but the SubSeed set will do a number on them due to their large HP stats. Heatran can easily switch in on Roserade and proceed to either set up or simply spam his powerful STAB Fire Blast, but must beware rare Hidden Power Ground variants. Overall, almost anyone faster than Roserade with a decently powered physical STAB move will beat her, as her Defense leaves a lot to be desired, and her Speed is average at best.

PetCalm™ Testimonials
Natural anxiety remedy for cats and dogs to help calm nervousness in canines and felines.
"My 9-year-old Wheaten Terrier is terrified of thunderstorms, and we live in the rural Midwest in tornado alley. I have been utilizing PetCalm since first finding it. It helps to calm him, reducing the tremors, drooling, and general anxiety associated with thunderstorms, hunting season, fireworks, etc. I highly recommend this product for anyone with anxious pets! It helps [the whole] family get a good night's sleep."— Cynthia, IA, USA
"I am very impressed with your product. At first I was a bit leery of using it as it is made in South Africa and I was a little nervous about regulations in manufacturing but I absolutely love the product now that I've used it. I have a 145lb Great Dane who gets frantic during car trips and thunder storms. He gets four pinches of PetCalm and rides well and sleeps through thunder storms! I especially like how this doesn't make him drowsy or alter him except to let him relax. Thank you!"— Jasmine, ME, USA
"Our little Maltese is a real baby whenever it comes to a visit to the vet! If we give her a dose of PetCalm just before leaving and one when we are there is such a big difference, which makes everyone much happier. Thanks for this lovely remedy which is easy to administer - as you say truly, without fuss or bother!"—Greta
"We give our dogs PetCalm just before we have guests over as they always become excited ...when there are new people in the house. It helps very much."—Bridgetta R
"Our Siamese cat …jumps at the slightest sound. She hates the sound of vacuum cleaners and is very sensitive to noise of all kinds. Since we have been giving her PetCalm every day, we have seen a big improvement and she is more happy and relaxed. I can recommend this product to anyone with a highly-strung, sensitive cat or dog."—N. D.
" I have a Jack Russell who pants and shakes terribly during a thunder storm. I give her a pinch of PetCalm and within seconds she is relaxed. Thanks for a great product. "- Gail Ann, USA

1/2 cup medium-firm regular tofu OR extra-firm SILKEN tofu
1/4 cup soy or chickpea flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
A few gratings of nutmeg
Process all ingredients in a food processor or blender until very smooth. No need to "rest" the batter first. Tofu crepes are made just like ordinary crepes. Heat a non-stick 8" skillet over medium-high heat and wipe it lightly with oil before making each crepe. Use about 3 tablespoons of batter per crepe (stirring the batter before you make each crepe), rolling and tilting the pan until it evenly covers the bottom. Cook for a few seconds, or until the top looks dry. Carefully loosen the crepe with a spatula and flip it over. After a few seconds the other side should be dry. Fold into quarters or roll like a jellyroll and place on a plate (or leave them flat if you are going to stack them with filling). If you are going to use the crepes shortly, cover them with a clean tea towel.
Either fill the crepes and serve according to the specific recipe directions, or let them cool and place in a plastic bag or rigid container (with pieces of waxed paper in between each crepe) and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze them for future use (thaw thoroughly before filling).
Dessert Crepes: Use 2 tablespoons sugar; add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon pure orange or lemon extract. Fill crepes with Vegan Creme Cheeze and top sweetened fresh fruit, liqueur, and or any sweet sauce.

Leo Santos hates you and your weak attempt at the double-under pass
[div class="notice" class2="icon"]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div]
The double under pass is a tough position to be in. Whether it's top or bottom its just a matter of time before something will undoubtedly happen, maybe good - maybe bad. Once you start getting to the higher levels it gets harder and harder and the last place I want to be is on my knees with my partners legs over my shoulders. Well, now that I have given you a wonderful visual, the position sucks. It take a lot of effort to pass, even with the best technique. BJJ legend Leo Santos doesn't like other dudes up in his situation either and today he shows his defense to double under pass which ends in a beautiful sweep.

I came to Overstock looking for microfiber chairpads like my friend has. She got them at a nearby retail store, but there were none left. I came to Overstock and found exactly what I needed! They are essentially microfiber (described as chamois), and since I have 3 cats, I needed these so they can't destroy them! I was very pleased to be able to choose from 10 different colors! It was a difficult decision, but I chose 2 sets of the blue, which are a beautiful and very rich hue. They are top quality--much better than chairpads I've seen in the stores at this price point. I've always has tie-on pads, but they always broke. The no-slip pads are wonderful! A nice touch is the fact that the pads are gusseted. Another nice touch is that the no-slip fabric does not come all the way to the bottom edge (as the picture shows), so the no-slip doesn't show, as store-bought pads (without gussets and bottom border fabric) do. I strongly recommend these chairpads. I wish I needed more so I could buy other colors! Thank you Overstock!
I got these cushions in the blue to match my blue kitchen and they are wonderful. The price is fantastic for a set of four! At first, I was skeptical that the cushions would stay on the chair without ties but these are TRUE NO SLIP cushions. They stay right on the chair even when you swing your legs to the side and even when the kids come to the dinner table and jump on the chair sideways....you won't be dissapointed. They are comfortable to sit on and the stuffing does not bunch up.
These chair pads are very comfortable, attractive, they stay put and seem very durable (the only reason I gave durability a 4 is I have not had them long enough to rate them differently). The color and fit are perfect for my room and my chairs. Another fine purchase and an excellent price from Overstock.com!
I ordered the Jade and the colour is FABULOUS! The quality is even better than I expected, the seams are all even and the stuffing is channeled properly. The no-slip backing does just what it promises! This was a GREAT purchase, if you're looking for chair cushions, I recommend you try these---you won't be disappointed!
Wow. We received these chairpads along with coordinating colors of curtains & pillows. What a great inexpensive way to update the entire family room. So glad I found this site. Fast shipping & low prices. Great combination.
These cushions are wonderful! No slipping and no ties. I will definitely buy them again.
Fantastic buy, excellent service as always from Overstock. These are very, very nice cushions; stay in place, soft and comfortable. These are well made and a wonderful value. BUT a few of my family members have "complained" because they are too "thick". If your table has a very deep apron you may want to measure to be sure. They are awesome!
This cushion does not stay as good as it should,it looks good and is nice thickness
The cushions are well made and comfortable but the non-slip feature really doesn't allow the cushions to stay put. The non-stick material is only in the center of the cushions, whereas it would work better if the outside 4 inches were also made with that material. The value is great though and I bought sage. The color is that of the picture. Hope this helps!
Good fit and quality. Very nice color and comfort.

Open Access to scholarly research findings offers considerable benefits. This is the conclusion reached by two reports prepared by the UK Open Access Implementation Group on the benefits to the public sector and to the voluntary and charitable sector of Open Access to scholarly research.
The report on the benefits to the public sector found that subscriptions, and the time spent searching for relevant articles, cost the UK public purse some £135 million a year. Savings accruing from the availability of Open Access journal articles amount to £28.6 million (approx. 35 million euros). Each additional 5% of journal articles available via Open Access would save the public sector £1.7 million a year, even if no subscription fees were saved.
The reports also underline the fact that both the UK public sector and the voluntary and charitable sector would derive further direct and indirect benefits from Open Access to published scholarly research. The surveys conducted within the framework of the studies revealed that the greatest barriers to the use of scholarly research are time and money. Open Access would overcome these barriers.

Solid Advice On How To Remove Depression
Depression may be a symptom of a worse condition, so it's incredibly important that you seek to get well if you are depressed. This is not something that will pass on its own. It's only going to get worse if left untreated.
If you are feeling depressed during the day try to stop what you are doing and go for a quick walk in the sun. Sunlight helps your body to release some chemicals that actually make you feel much happier. This is also true for people who are naturally depressed.
Do not be afraid to ask for help. Many people keep their problems and emotions all bottled up inside them. Obviously, this is not a healthy thing to do. Instead, you should reach out to a friend or family member. If you have no one who is close, seek out a professional.
If you are opposed to taking prescription medications for depression, try St. John's Wort. This natural, herbal remedy for depression can be very effective. It works in much the same way as Prozac by increasing the availability of mid-brain serotonin. This helps elevate your mood and alleviate your feelings of sorrow.
Eating foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids will help to stabilize your mood. Salmon, and most other fish will have these fatty acids in them. The specific fats you are looking for are EPA and DHA. They will help you feel much better and raise your mood without much work on your part.
If your doctor prescribes you an antidepressant, be aware that it can take up to a month for you to see results. While that can seem like an eternity, it is worth giving the medication a chance before you give up on the medicine or stop taking it. Make sure that your expectations are realistic.
A great tip that can help you out of your depression is to write your own poetry. Writing poetry can be very cathartic and therapeutic. Not only, will writing poetry help you get out of your depression, you'll also have a genuine work of art that you can be proud of.
Do not increase the overload your mind and body are feeling by watching a lot of TV. There is too much random chaos happening in the world such that trying to balance it in your thoughts is nearly an impossibility. Turn the TV off and go for a walk. Listen to the sounds of nature and try to tune out the chaos around you.
Try to get outside as much as you can, when suffering from depression. Even if it is just for a quick walk every day, getting some sun and fresh air, can make a world of a difference for controlling depression symptoms. Sitting inside all the time, will just make you feel worse.
Try to avoid "glass half empty" types of people. If you suffer from depression than it is likely that you already have a pessimistic outlook on life and by hanging out with other people like this, you will only feed into your own negative thoughts. Focus on finding people with high spirits.
A great tip that can help you fight depression is to eliminate any behaviors that enable depression. Feeling sorry for yourself might be something that feels right at the time but it will just strengthen your depression. Try your best to avoid these behaviors so you can get out of your depression.
Try to be open-minded to new ideas that your therapist gives you. Many people do not follow the advice of a therapist because they find these ideas to be odd or unhelpful. But remember, your therapist is the expert and he or she is just trying to do whatever possible, to help you out.
If you have depression but you do not want to take an anti-depressant, you may want to think of trying an herbal remedy, such as St. John's Wart. Studies have proven that certain herbal remedies are just as effective, if not more effective than prescription anti-depressants. Consult with a doctor before taking herbal remedies.
Do not be too hard on yourself. This will only cause you to be more depressed than you already are. Be aware that people have flaws and there is always a chance to change what you do not like about your situation or yourself. Nothing is out of your reach in this world!
Set a goal. Often times depression can be caused by a lack of purpose or a feeling of failure. If you set a goal for yourself it gives you something to look forward to and to work towards. It gives your life a purpose and a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Increase the amounts of foods you eat that help your body produce serotonin, such as fish. Serotonin is a neurochemical that your body uses to improve your body. Many medications act to increase the amount of serotonin in your brain, but you can create this effect naturally by changing your diet.
Make sure you are getting enough sunlight daily. Not getting enough sun can cause depression or make it worse. You can have coffee outside, eat lunch or sit on your porch to expose yourself to sunlight daily. This is important to make sure your depression doesn't get any worse.
If you are feeling depressed, exercise. When you are exercising, your brain releases endorphins, which have an almost immediate positive effect on your mood. These endorphins also help you to manage your response to stress better, which can help you deal with some stimuli that is making you depressed. In the long-term, you will build self-esteem because you are engaging in an activity that has good physical benefits.
One of the biggest steps you can take in fighting depression is making the conscious choice to actually fight it. Some people simply give up and learn to live around their disorder. Don't become the disorder here. Use the tips provided to you to keep your depression from coming back.

Question by Philosopher 4785 · Feb 04 '11 at 06:29 PM · sugar fructose fruit paleo
If you had a maximum limit (for instance 50 grams per day or so) of sugar consumption, which sources would you use? I mean if you had to choose between having two or three pieces of fruit (apple, orange, etc) or having instead the equivalent amount of sugar in the form of sucrose or glucose, what would be your choice? I do not have weight nor metabolic problems, and I am not using any sodas or anything else having HFCS. I do have some fruit (orange, apples or bananas) daily. If I were to switch to having coffee or tea sweetened with sucrose or glucose instead of fruits, I would keep constant my sugar intake, lose the nutrients from fruits (fiber and vitamins) and gain the benefit of a presumably more healthy sugar (sucrose or glucose) rather than fructose. What would you do? What would be the benefits and problems related to that change?

Answer by Travis Culp 41038 · Feb 04 '11 at 06:38 PM
100% glucose is ideal, preferably in the form of a slow-digesting starch.
I try to keep fructose under 5 grams a day. It's a lot harder than you'd think.
Answer by Stefani 1089 · Feb 04 '11 at 06:39 PM
Welp. Sucrose is 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose, so, in essence, you'd just be splitting those two sugars if you ate sucrose. My pick, and I'd guess the pick of most people here, would be glucose.
I think that I have a pretty big problem with fructose. Not only does fructose stall weight loss by triggering triglyceride production, but it also messes with leptin levels (read here, perhaps: http://paleopepper.com/2011/02/curing-physiological-drivers-of-binge-eating-with-a-paleo-diet/ or here: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2008/12/leptin-resistance-and-sugar.html). It's a giant No on my list, so glucose it would be. I don't consider nutrients from fruit to be particularly important. I get plenty of nutrients from eggs and from meat, and if I do in fact "need" antioxidants, I get plenty of those from my leafy greens.
Answer by Mia 236 · Feb 05 '11 at 04:27 AM
There is also this link which I found very helpful. It's for people with fructose intolerance which explains all different kinds of sugars. If it says not tolerated that means that there is fructose in it. http://www.bu.edu/aldolase/HFI/treatment/sugar_table.htm
Actually, I was also wondering whether it's OK to use tapioca syrup as a sweetener, since tapioca is considered a safe starch by some. From what I could find tapioca syrup has zero fructose, and contains glucose and maltose. Any thoughts?
Answer by Payam 851 · Feb 04 '11 at 07:04 PM
does anyone have a list of fruits and their fructose/glucose breakdown. I know there is a limited amount of info on this on wikipedia, but I would love a comprehensive list.
Answer by Karen 11317 · Feb 05 '11 at 01:53 AM
I'd eat a couple of sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon instead.
Answer by Jayan 964 · Feb 05 '11 at 08:02 PM
Xylitol. Lower in total calories than regular sugars, just as sweet as sucrose w/o an aftertaste (though it does have a slight cooling sensation, like other sugar alcohols). Relatively minimal glycemic response. Peer reviewed evidence shows that it's fantastic for teeth - is not fermentable by plaque bacteria, actively reduces plaque by inhibiting production of sticky polysaccharides, alkalinizes saliva, promotes secretion of saliva and minerals in saliva, promotes remineralization of dentin and enamel, changes the balance of the oral microflora towards non-cariogenic species, etc etc. It acts as a probiotic, being converted into short-chain fatty acids in the colon. Preliminary evidence shows that it promotes remineralization of bone and retards osteoporosis. Retards all types of biofilms by the same mechanism by which it reduces plaque... but absorption to the bloodstream is likely minimal or nonexistent, so this would only be a topical effect. Anyway, I'm rambling now - but i've yet to find a better sweetener to use - if you must.
Answer by Carisa 1 · Mar 25 '11 at 06:06 PM
erythritol is the least problematic of the sugar alcohols because it is absorbed in the small intestine and excreted unchanged in the urine. Xylitol is something I use regularly as well and unless you really binge on it, you will not have diarrhea. I got carried away with it one day and had just a bit of softening of the stool, that's it. Both are fine choices.
Answer by kelly 2 131 · Mar 26 '11 at 05:28 PM
I try to avoid sweet tasting things to keep my cravings down... but I have recently started using small amounts of stevia every now and again. A bit metallic if I use too much. You really need TINY amounts with it!
I have used xylitol but it seems to cause gastric upsets. (Wood alcohols do this in some people. So use the xylitol in moderation at the beginning, as Carisa mentioned.)
Answer by Bill1102inf 7821 · Jan 16 '12 at 07:34 PM
This is an important post especially this time of the year. As many people are finding out, VLCing it AND going to the gym/crossfitting/HIIT/HIT/lifting weights do not go well together. Fructose, when consumed does very little for you as it can only recharge liver glycogen levels but not muscle. Unfortunately sucrose and therefore cake/candy/bagels/white bread/etc are 50% fructose.
Certain people (see above) do NEED carbohydrates that enter the body as glucose. Other than sweet potatoes, other caloric dense foods that fit this bill are white rice and white potatoes.

When I moved to my tiny place I painted everything white and it was superdull. I repainted most walls now and it looks much better!
I love that bright yellow wall.
Loving all the fabulous greens!
I think the darkest colours look best on the tall, high ceiling walls, and the bright, lighter colours look good on them all.
really enjoying these small cool highlights!
